Juvederm

Juvederm and Restylane are FDA approved gels that is injected into the skin to lift up wrinkles and add fullness to the lips. Technically known as hyaluronic acid, it is a natural substance found throughout the body. It lubricates our joints, gives our eyes their shape and provides volume to the skin.

Injected in small amounts can lift up wrinkles to the level of the surrounding skin and enhance the contours of the lips.

• They are most commonly used in the area between the folds that occur from the nostrils to the angle of the mouth, although other sites can also be treated. It is also used to accentuate the border of the lips and give them added volume.
• Extremely deep wrinkles and some types of acne scars, however, do not respond to the treatment.

Understanding your treatment

Treatment with Juvederm or Restylane s both quick and easy. No allergy test
is needed so the treatment, which takes about 30 minutes, can be carried out
at once.

• While the injections used to treat wrinkles and
  folds do not hurt, a mild skin cream anesthetic is used before treatment to
  avoid any sensation.
• Lip treatment is sometimes uncomfortable, so a
  local anesthetic is normally used.

Once injected it cannot be removed, however, since it is a natural material
it dissolves over time.
